I’m somehow just learning this and now I’m actually bummed. Hopefully someone else that’s less idiotic picks it up.
You were correct. Marvel Television Banner Return Explained by Marvel Studios Exec (Exclusive) "We want to make sure that Marvel stays an open door for people to come in and explore," Winderbaum revealed. "On the heels of Endgame, I think there was, maybe, a little bit of an obligation to watch absolutely everything in order to watch anything. As you know, as a comics fan, they're designed to just pop in, find something that you like, and use that to enter you into the universe, and then you can explore and weave around based on your own preferences. So part of the rebranding of Marvel Studios, Marvel Television, Marvel Animation, even Marvel Spotlight is to, I think, try to tell the audience, 'You can jump in anywhere. They're interconnected but they're not. You don't have to watch A to enjoy B. You can follow your bliss. You can follow your own preferences and find the thing you want within the tapestry of Marvel.'"
He’s much more reliable with trailer releases. Im skeptical that they’d do a series on such an obscure character, let alone TSwift agreeing to it.
Considering Marvel’s casting track record, I don’t believe for a second that she’s being considered for any kind of actual role outside of a cameo as Dazzler in Deadpool. Toast/Shine at least used to have some decent credibility on actual leaks when they started. He’s really only been good with trailer releases as previously mentioned, but he’s gotta keep those patreon subscribers up now. That’s why he’s “leaking” video game news now too.
It’s a pop star playing a mutant pop star, she’s friends with Reynolds, and it’s just a dumb fun cameo to throw in.
Also who would that show even be for? I know I’m not that deep into the Marvel universe, but I’ve never even heard of her. Not saying I wouldn’t be into it (with an actual actress), but considering Marvel is trying to course correct and scale down, how is making a streaming show of a basically unknown character and wasting a release not the dumbest move they could make?
I believe she was also rumored to do it for another movie not that long ago, so people really jumped on it when she was rumored again for this one. Showing up to a Chiefs game with the two stars and director of the movie didn’t exactly help lol
